Summer Wonder Crab Apple

The Summer Wonder Crab Apple is a unique flowering tree with purple leaves that hold their color all summer long, even in hot areas. This is the only crab apple to offer this, but that is only the beginning. In spring this tree is smothered in blossoms of a rich, pink-purple color. In fall and well into winter, it is hung with bunches of deep-purple crab apples, that can be turned into delicious jelly. It forms a small, rounded tree around 20 feet tall, and almost as wide, and since it grows 2 feet a year, it will take just a few short years to mature in your garden. This tree is hardy from zone 4 to zone 8, and in colder areas it is the best choice for spring flowering of any tree.

• Rich purple leaves all summer long – a unique tree
• Beautiful pink-purple flowers in spring
• Deep purple crab apples in fall and into winter
• Highly resistant to all major apple diseases
• Fast growing and cold hardy

The Summer Wonder Crab Apple grows readily and vigorously in most garden soils, and once established it is resistant to normal periods of summer drought. It has remarkable resistance to all the major apple diseases, including apple scab, which causes yellowing and falling of leaves in summer, powdery mildew, which coats the fruit and leaves in unsightly white powder, and the deadly fireblight disease, which kills trees by killing branches in a matter of weeks. You can avoid all these problems by choosing to plant a resistant tree like the Summer Wonder Crab Apple.
